University Women’s Care health care professionals realize there is nothing more precious or exciting than a new life.  Amazing changes take place in a pregnant woman’s body, as her baby grows and develops. As soon as a woman knows she is pregnant, she should schedule an appointment with an obstetrician or a certified nurse midwife.

Our staff of physicians and certified nurse midwives provide a full range of obstetrics care.  Our goal is to provide the highest quality services to our patients and to continuously evaluate the results of our efforts. We strive to meet the needs of our patients through involvement of our staff at all levels.  

Who provides prenatal care?

At University Women’s Care, prenatal care is provided by obstetricians, perinatologists, and certified nurse midwives:

• Obstetrician/Gynecologist (OB/GYN) - a physician who has specialized training in the care of women during pregnancy, labor, and delivery. An OB-GYN also specializes in many gynecological health issues.

• Certified Nurse Midwife (CNM) - a nurse who has additional training to care for women with low-risk pregnancies. Some midwives work with physicians while some work on an independent basis.

• Perinatologist  - an obstetrician who specializes in the diagnosis and treatment of complications during pregnancy and childbirth. Perinatologists are also called maternal-fetal specialists.
